How to get FV Player button to show for ACF input or just as a field

Noah 3 years, 7 months ago

Hello,

If you look here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdvancedCustomFields/docs/master/assets/acf-wysiwyg-field-interface.png, you can see that the “Add Media” button is above the WYSIWYG field.

In the same way, the FV Player “Add FV Player” button also appears alongside it. Clicking it brings the insert video dialog, etc and inserts the shortcode.

How can I get the “Add FV Player” button as a custom field “text” (NOT in the gutenburg editor) WITHOUT using the WYSIWYG field and have the same behavior?

I realize that there is code where you can put the shortcode into the template, but I am looking for a way for the button to be there as it is for the WYSIWYG field -because then the user can insert/edit videos with the dialog from the post page rather than going to the Videos/Playlists page.

Any ideas?

For clarification, I found an image on your site which shows the button I am talking about: https://foliovision.com/images/2018/11/fv-player-shortcode-id.png

Hello,

I believe I have it partly figured it out.
```
if( class_exists('FV_Player_MetaBox') ) {
	new FV_Player_MetaBox( array(
		'name' => 'Video Player',
		'meta_key' => 'video_player',
		'post_type' => 'archive', // the post type here
		'display' => true,
		'multiple' => false,
		'labels' => array(
		  'edit' => 'Edit Video',
		  'remove' => 'Remove Video'
		)
	  )
	);
}
```
in the functions.php and:
```
        <?php 
        if( class_exists('FV_Player_Custom_Videos') ) {
          global $post;
          $objVideos = new FV_Player_Custom_Videos( array('id' => $post->ID, 'meta' => 'video_player', 'type' => 'post' ) );
          $objVideos->get_form();
          if( $objVideos->have_videos() ) {
            foreach( $objVideos->get_videos() AS $video ) {
              echo do_shortcode($video);
            }
          }
        }
        ?>
```
in the template PHP file.

Make sure to NOT have “Enable profile videos” on.

This adds a meta box at the bottom of the wp editor where the user can add/edit the video.

To the developers: I suggest you make this the default behavior and/or make a tutorial in the documentation on doing this. This really is more user-friendly in my opinion than the default.

The only question I have now is:

– How can I raise the priority of the Metabox so that its not at the bottom of the page (e.g: I would like to set it to ‘high’)?

Thanks

Hello Noah,

these meta boxes are already added with “high” priority: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/models/custom-videos.php#L228

Please see if changing 999 to 10 in https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/models/custom-videos.php#L202 on your website will set the position as expected.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Noah,

I will make that change part of the next plugin version.
